How did they achieve the sort of protruding wave or curl at the bottom? Medieval haircuts were pretty great, some nice fades too

Nice to see a bunch of medieval lots at Sotheby’s day 2 sale. The sale has everything from sculptures to a few miniatures. Will be an interesting barometer for the market. A few thoughts: - I’m not a fan of most of the stuff being sold from the “Connecticut collection”, at least not at these estimates. - Major auction houses have just not had a lot of supply in the last year or two of medieval stuff. So it becomes harder to gauge where the mid level market is at for medieval art. - This auction will have a good number of lots pass. Which will show what the market wants and in which areas estimations may be too high. - interesting assortment of provenances from museum deaccession, a US Ambassador, and WW2 Restitution

The Donor Knight One of the sixteen panels of glass in St Peter, Lowick (Northamptonshire). This wonderful glass, made in c.1310-30, depicts four kings and eleven prophets.

@bodleianlibs It's the only time I've seen figures in the border "coming out" from behind the main illumination scene.

@bodleianlibs MS Douce 381. Interesting early Ghent-Bruges semi-grisaille single leaf. The illusionistic border composition appears to be quite original.

Flemish pre-Eyckian apocalypse. @laBnF Néerlandais 3, f. 7r.

I haven't done a ton of research, and could well be wrong (feel free to dunk on me if so), but there is a red flag here in my opinion⛳️. This painting is supposed to be by the hand of Colijn de Coter and workshop, based on Nicodemus from Rogier's Prado Descent. Yet not only is the face of Nicodemus copied, Saint Luke here is shown flooded with tears while in a completely different scene - drawing the virgin, which is not a tragic or sad scene. I am skeptical that this painting is anything more than a pastiche by a follower who didn't know much about what they were copying.
